Sun., August 17, 2025, 3PM: Voices of the Faithful Rally: Stand with your immigrant neighbors on August 17th

Community

For months, ICE has been operating in Nashville, separating families and forcibly removing members of our community without any trial. We will not be silent as our neighbors continue to be dehumanized and disappeared.

Join NOAH for a powerful inter-faith rally to uplift the dignity, safety, and humanity of immigrant communities in Middle Tennessee. We invite people of all faiths and backgrounds to show up for justice and compassion. The demonstration will be held at Richland Park at 3:00 pm.

Together, we can send a clear message: We will not be silent. We will stand with those most affected by fear, displacement, & injustice.

Some Sundays we may have activities outdoors in the playground or in the Religious Education Building, depending on staff present.
